Siren Song

Siren Song: A Pirate Odyssey
Buntport Theatre
Lakewood, CO 
October 14, 2017 - May 12, 2018

Buntport Theatre has been presenting one hour episodes of Siren Song since last fall. While it is not essential to see every episode to follow the plot of each episode, once you see one, they become strangely addictive.  This month’s episode was based on Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

The transition from the last episode to this one was a bit choppy. But those who have been following along were filled in early in. The plot for the Thriller show was completely different from the previous one I had seen. But it was just as funny.

Captain Cruelboots was not in this section, but Terry and Neville returned. The audience also met the God of Recorders and Priscilla the Thriller, who fit into the ridiculous cocktail. The new characters played off the established quirks of the familiar ones.

While the story line about daydream boxes was fun, it was the recreation of the Thriller dance at the end which brought the house down.
